With great help from Mr. Stodolsky, I got the intel537EP to connect in an
FC6 OS.
I found that with the verizon dial-up, I had to enter user name 'smith' as
VZ/smith
in the wvdial.conf file.
After getting the dial-up connection to authenticate, there are additional
steps to get
the web browser to recognize this- nearly as I can tell. Following advice in
an old
RH4 linux reference, I checked the files /etc/host.conf and
/etc/resolv.conf
The host.conf was correct:
order hosts,bind
multi on
However, the resolv.conf was empty, and had to be changed, needing at least
two lines:
search
nameserver 198.6.100.150
where the numbers are the primary DNS address, which I retrieved from the
log of the wvdial connect.
several 'nameserver ' lines may be entered. I wonder if
'incoming.verizon.net' and outgoing.verizon.net
might have been entered, but have not tried since the DNS address seemed to
work. I did enter
the incoming/outgoing addresses in configuring the email under the server
entry, and- it works.
Hope that this will be helpful, and that a more knowledgeable soul will edit
/annotate these comments
to make them-correct.
